Monty Python's funniest moments

In the video above, we compile some of the best jokes from one of Britain’s most iconic comedy groups, Monty Python.

The Pythons - Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese and Michael Palin - first began working together in the 1960s.

Between 1969 and 1974 they wrote and performed Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which aired on the BBC. The series ran over 45 episodes and defied traditional conventions of television comedy with its unpredictable nature, stream of consciousness like acting and explicit writing style.

The phenomenon of the Pythons’ series developed into a huge catalogue of work for the group including four films, numerous books, an album and even the successful stage musical ‘Spamalot’, inspired by their 1975 film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
